Abstract: The disclosure relates to an incubation device and an automatic analysis device. The incubation device includes: an incubation unit (120) for incubating reaction containers (130) that contain a reactant or for buffering the cleaned and separated reaction containers (130), wherein the incubation unit (120) includes an incubation assembly (121) and an incubation driving assembly (122), the incubation driving assembly (122) is connected to the incubation assembly (121) so as to drive the incubation assembly (121) to move linearly along a third direction (30), and incubation positions (1211) for placing the reaction containers (130) are provided on the incubation assembly (121); and a transfer unit (110) for moving the reaction containers (130) into or out of the incubation unit (120), wherein the transfer unit (110) includes a pick-and-place assembly (112) and a pick-and-place driving assembly (111), the pick-and-place driving assembly (111) is connected to the pick-and-place assembly (112).

Abstract: Disclosed are a dilution method and a dilution apparatus. The dilution method includes: adding a sample into a first reactor at a first station of a supply unit; transferring the first reactor to a fifth station of a transit apparatus, and receiving a second reactor at the first station of the supply unit; adding a diluent into the first reactor at the fifth station to obtain a diluted sample; uniformly mixing the diluted sample in the first reactor; transferring the first reactor from the transit apparatus to a dilution transport apparatus; transferring part of the diluted sample in the first reactor to the second reactor; transferring the second reactor to the fifth station of the transit apparatus, and continuing to add the diluent into the second reactor; and uniformly mixing substances in the second reactor. The dilution apparatus includes the supply unit and the transit apparatus.

Abstract: A method of processing a sample for an assembly line workstation for a body fluid test includes: receiving application information including a sample number; checking a sample of a sample rack to acquire a sample checking result; matching the sample checking result with the sample number to determine if a match succeeds; and if a match is not successful, pausing dispatch of the sample rack.

Abstract: A method of nondisruptive loading of reagents in a body fluid workstation including a plurality of analyzers, including: receiving application information to a first analyzer which needs loading of a reagent; loading the reagent into the first analyzer; controlling the first analyzer to pause dispensing of the reagent at a determined time; and controlling one or more other analyzers in the body fluid workstation to continue testing, wherein controlling the one or more other analyzers includes adjusting a test sequence of one or more sample racks in the one or more other analyzers subsequent to the first analyzer, and dispatching the one or more sample racks according to the adjusted test sequence.
